What is Nintendo Direct?
Nintendo Direct is the legendary Japanese games company’s way of communicating with the press and fans. This is especially for making news announcements for upcoming games.
Announcements can vary, from new gameplay features to new accessory reveals and even release date announcements. Previously, Nintendo used its Direct presentations to unveil the Nintendo Switch, along with several of its top Nintendo Switch games.
Sometimes there will be a dedicated Pokémon Presents stream, particularly for the franchise, or particular games like Smash Bros and Animal Crossing.
